Hotel Carlton Bilbao

Having disembarked the Pride of Bilbao, following our two day mini-cruise (the highlights of which were DVD horse races, bingo, Geordies on the lash and two memorable dining experiences at Langans Brasserie), we faced the delights of industrial Bilbao, which proved to be a fitting introduction to North Spain. Undaunted we headed to ...

... pincho that Paul had and a (believe it or not) anchovy/cod concoction on bread that I had. I&#8217;ve really been venturing out on the fish thing this trip. I even had cod for lunch!!<br><br>Tomorrow we leave Bilbao for a hotel a bit in from the coast into the Picos de Europa, a beautiful, mountainous area. We should be in by late afternoon. Look for photos of the coast and the mountains next. <br><br>Cheers!

We drove from Madrid, got a bit lost trying to find Lurdea. We thought it is a name of a village but it is not it is just the name of the Hotel/Casa Rural.<br><br>The place is amazing. Located in the hills above Bermeo, with magnificent view of the ocean. It is clean (like really clean) and has the air of a relaxing boutique hotel.<br>

To be honest I probably wouldn't have bothered had I not booked it some weeks ...

... the tube to head to camping Soplena. After the blow out in Ibiza we thought we'd keep it cheap and camp. The plan was to spend a few days here, then head to San Sebastien and then into France.<br><br>Camping Sopelana - DONT STAY HERE! Although the beach it is is AMAZING and beautiful, the campsite here is not. It's dirty, dirty, dirty and really ...

... Funny note, half way to the airport Chris says something to the affect of, "You know, here in Ireland its normally the ladies who do the talkin'. But you are quite the chatterbox." ... We enjoyed a good laugh at that. Raining by the time we get to the airport, Chris stops off and takes off running, returning a minute later wet as can be with two luggage trollies in hand. Hugs and handshakes ... and we are off to Bilbao, Spain. The plane is a couple of hours late. I'm nervous about our ...

Last Thursday, 6 of my friends and I cut class (shhh!) to go to Bilbao, in the north of Spain. Here's a view of the city. The city isn't very remarkable, but it ...

... Gehry's design offers a glimpse into 21st century architecture, by using cutting-edge technologies, unusual materials, and daring forms he created a piece of sculpture that not only incorporates well with its surroundings, but also with the art work housed within.
